Now Featuring: Lifestyle

Now live on the Rick Davis Photographic website is our Lifestyle section.  Working on lifestyle projects has always been a passion.  Lifestyle photography allows me to tell unique and compelling stories through single images.  Working with real people and models of all ages in various environments brings creative challenges that allow me to stretch and hone my skills.  As always, light plays a key role in the images I find, take a look at my work with bamboo to see how magical the right light can make an image.

Brake Pad Ads

One of my favorite recent projects was photographing SBS BrakePads with my old colleague Rob Hudepohl.  These state-of-the-art brake pads were shot using a light table in the studio in order to showcase the unique design and durability of the product.  Having been a rally car racer I have a great appreciation for high quality car parts and these brake pads certainly fit the bill.  They were a pleasure to shoot and I am looking forward to seeing my work as a part of the larger advertisement Velocity created. 

Functional Design: Finding the Beauty in Trash

It has been sometime since I blogged about the new things happening here at Rick Davis Photographic, not because we have not had new things to showcase but because so many new things have been happening. First up was a great product shoot featuring trash cans made by TM Fitzgerald.  Now I know what you're thinking, how glamourous. But I find one of my greatest joys in photography is finding the beauty in the everyday things we often fail to notice.  These cans allowed me some opportunity to play with light in the studio and create images that display the form and functionality of TM Fitzgerald products.  At the same time these photos are pleasing to the eye and will hopefully catch the attention of an audience wherever they are shown.
